Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel lobby and property are lovely, and the location is fantastic. However, the vintage rooms are quite small and basic. Our ocean view room (#1015) featured a Juliet balcony (a $50/night upcharge), but to actually see the ocean, you had to step outside; otherwise, you’re left staring at the roof and an industrial air conditioning unit from the bed. The pool is small, and due to the high number of guests, lounge chairs got reserved by zealous families eager to stake their claims seemingly at dawn. A delightful surprise was the opportunity to feed the numerous seagulls that frequent the roof—perhaps the hotel should be renamed "The Jonathan" in their honor. Ultimately, while the location is a standout feature, the overall experience doesn't quite justify the price.

Beautiful historic yet updated rooms in the middle of La Jolla. Guest services all top notch during our stay: Check in with Giulianna, reservations made through concierge Ana, our bellhop Christian and Cindy with housekeeping…all above and beyond. Daily pool lunch and drinks with Mike taking great care of us. The sunset views from the bar lounge can’t be beat. It was my 2nd time staying here and can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

Ridiculously overpriced
Advanced arrangements made with the property for 60th birthday + 30th anniversary + visiting 1st grandchild + iPrefer all in one visit yielded…nothing. Nothing any guest with no special events couldn’t get. Wasn’t expecting anything but still surprised they did nothing. The property is comfortable but ridiculously overpriced-ocean view, etc. all considered. Service was generally friendly, though we did walk out of the Sala room after being ignored for 30 minutes. Won’t return.
